Phonology ( Week 2 )

Phonology (\fə-ˈnä-lə-jē, fō-\), as describe at http://www.merriam-webster.com is the science of speech sounds including especially
the history and theory of sound changes in a language or in two or more related
languages. This knowledge is essential for an educator so that they can
be the best role model as English speakers. Students will learn more especially
in pronunciations and language if educators are capable of using English in the
best way as possible.
